Yes.

Yes.

No, not a flaw, but without a feature. It means that there is a
mismatch in your system between the kernel and the (upstream) glibc
build system. Something is being detected when it shouldn't be (or
vice versa).
Since you are using a fairly old kernel, the problem is really yours.
The only way we would be able to get anyone to pay attention is is we
were using a recent system to do the build.
On my reference build I have
gcc nscd.c -c -std=gnu99 -fgnu89-inline -O2 -Wall -Winline
-Wwrite-strings -fmerge-all-constants -g -Wstrict-prototypes

Without error.
As I said earlier, I don't know why this problem appears to be triggered
on some systems and not others.
Another suggestion would be to download jhalfs and build LFS using that.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/alfs/. Failure at the same point that
you are getting now would rule out errors earlier in the build.
